so if you could make multiple attacks with an action, say with a Scorching Ray spell which makes 3 attacks, you could attack, move, attack, move, attack and move if you have any movement left.

No, you can't. That's exactly what I meant when I said you can't break up an action. That also goes for Extra Attacks. Once you start attacking, you need to use all your attacks at once or forfeit some of them. You can choose different targets, but you can't do anything else in-between.

Counterspell is a special case because it uses a reaction. You get one reaction per round (not turn) and you can use it when a certain criteria is met, regardless of what you or anyone else were doing at the time.

Well... snow me then. Apologies. I apparently have been playing it wrong for a while. And I'm pretty sure I was not the origin of that notion in our group and not at all the only one who thought that. Must be some hive consciousness leftover from previous editions or something.

@Oddball: You started your turn 30 feet off the map, so using your movement you finally managed to get in and join the battle. Also, those were attack rolls, not damage rolls, because the three rays from Scorching Ray need to roll to hit before they deal damage, and they deal 2d6 damage for each one that hits, not 1d20.

So one of your beams hit Aife's saurian, and one of them hit the one next to grimlea... though roll two more d20s, because you have advantage on your attack rolls against that lizard, meaning you roll twice and take the best result!
